Race 1 - F&M NW5000L5/12500CLM Pace

(6) SLY ELEANOR N had some success down at Harrah's Philadelphia last year, and she returns from Canada here into the Travis Alexander barn. She also picks up Yannick Gingras in the bike. (1) CHUPPAH ON has had a trainer change to the high-percentage Tahnee Camilleri stable since her last start of 2021. She slides down to the bottom level tonight, and she's also now being driven by Jordan Stratton. (3) COOLNCALCULATING N raced in a higher class on December 17 at Harrah's Philadelphia and gets reunited with Marcus Miller.

Race 3 - F&M NW10000L5/Winners in Last Start of the Base Class NW7500L5/20000CLM Pace

(4) GREENHILL HANOVER races for a trainer in Carmen Auciello who has had some recent success over at the Meadowlands, and I will give her a shot. (1) BYE BYE MICHELLE packs a lot of early speed and drops a level from her last two appearances of 2021. (6) SCANDALICIOUS beat NW10000L5's on October 7 and makes her first start back at this class since then.

Race 4 - F&M NW15000L5/Winner in Last Start of the Base Class NW10000L5/25000CLM/NW9 Pace

(2) ROBYN CAMDEN owns a lot of success at Yonkers during her career and finds a sensible class for her return after concluding her 2021 campaign at the Open level up at Saratoga. (4) THE FUN MARSHALL prevailed at the Meadowlands on New Year's Eve and then backed that up with a second-place result on January 7. She was Jason Bartlett's pick of a couple in here. (7) LADYBELUCKYTONITE raced in the Open a couple of times in October and tallied against NW20000L5's on September 30.

Race 5 - NW4/50000LT / NW2/25000LT Drawn Inside Trot

(3) IDENTITY POLICE last raced on October 15 but he made up some ground in a qualifier at Yonkers on 12-10, is making his first start out of the Alexander barn, and lured Scott Zeron off another one in this event. (6) STRIKING GENSON is an invader from Northfield and has joined the Nick Devita stable. He was second in the NW4 class at the Home of the Flying Turns on December 8. (5) BLANK SPACE AS wrapped up 2021 with two straight wins and was Bartlett's choice of a pair in this race.

Race 6 - F&M NW30000L5/F&M NW20000L5 Drawn Inside Pace

(4) MACHNHOPE is the defending champion of the Blue Chip Matchmaker Series at Yonkers and appeared ready for her 7-year-old debut in that qualifier on December 31 at the Meadowlands. (3) CORAL BELLA was claimed for just $12,500 on November 18 but got absolutely red-hot for her connections following the barn change and drew inside tonight following a pair of seven-holes to end 2021. (2) HEAVENS SHOWGIRL A defeated Machnhope in that qualifier at The Big M and won at Yonkers on 11-11-21.

Race 7 - NW8/100000LT Trot

(4) VINNY DE VIE gained spots and ground in the final quarter on January 7 at the Meadowlands and has won at Yonkers in the past. (7) TUESDAY MORNING ended 2021 with three straight victories after joining the Jenn Bongiorno barn, and it looks like she packs enough early speed to overcome this outside draw. (5) TOKYO SEELSTER had two wins and two seconds in overnight races in November and December after becoming a member of the Burke Brigade.

Race 8 - F&M Open Handicap Pace

(3) LIT DE ROSE saw her three-race win streak derailed by post seven on December 16, but she has an inside draw here and shown the ability to win both on the front-end and from behind. (6) DRAGON ROLL had a sensational 4-year-old campaign and is a well-known quantity in the Open. (2) MYSTICAL CARRIE posted two thirds and a fourth in her appearances in the Open late in 2021 and gets Marcus Miller back in the bike.

Race 9 - NW4/50000LT / NW2/25000LT Trot

(2) SPELL CUTEYPIE won impressively against NW3's down at Harrah's Philadelphia on Christmas Eve and then backed that up with a third-place finish in their NW5 class a week later. I'll put her on top. (3) PERRON was a regular in the Ohio Sires Stakes and was the champion for 2-year-old male trotters back in 2020. He had a rough trip at Saratoga on 12-20 but picks up Stratton tonight to aid his cause. (7) HOPE SO has raced better when partnered with co-owner Yannick Gingras, and he has the call here.

Race 10 - F&M NW5000L5/12500CLM Pace

(7) WOODMERE SKYROLLER lands in a good spot and catches a beatable group in her first start down from Canada for new trainer Lance Hudson. (3) SEA CHANGE N hit the board in five of seven to end 2021 and was Stratton's choice of two. (1) CABOWABOCUTTIE never wins, but she did make her way onto the ticket in her final two starts of last year.
